Exactly! But this doesn't benefit the goverment in any way that's their biggest issue.
The insurance companies can't charge you extra for being a smoker anymore.
Tax losses
Everything else is just excuses!
Someone who tweets should send him the link to this article. The author actually utilizes a formula using probability to determine that a lifetime of tobacco Harm Reduction (THR) is less harmful than one more month of smoking!
HRJ | Full text | Debunking the claim that abstinence is usually healthier for smokers than switching to a low-risk alternative, and other observations about anti-tobacco-harm-reduction arguments
"We can estimate that if smokers who are going to eventually cause themselves to die from smoking will smoke an average of 18,000 days, then the average such current smoker has about 9,000 days of smoking ahead of him. (This is would be exactly true if we were in steady-state with respect to smoking and if smokers with fewer days of smoking ahead of them were not more likely to already be doomed. Failures of these assumptions will tend toward canceling out, and the net error seems to be within the limited precision built into the calculation.) Thus, using the conservative simplification above, if the average such smoker switches immediately, he has a 9,000/5×106 ≈ 1/600 chance of dying from Smokeless Tobacco (ST) use. Comparing this to his extra probability of dying from smoking by waiting longer to completely quit, at 1/18,000 chance of causing death per day, shows that this is the equivalent of delaying quitting by about one month. Thus, on average, this smoker only endures greater total risk from using a THR product for the rest of his life if he were going to become abstinent in less than a month."
Surely Spock would see the logic there!

something to remember about all celebrity's more correctly actors,actress and such they are paid to to lie and there stand point can be paid for.
the only truth to Mr.Neemoy comments is that he wished he quit smoking sooner. the rest could have been paid for by the ANTIZ

Anyone "new" should not smoke, drink, vape or have unprotected you know what.
Eat liver and vegies like mama said.
More likely just his individual feelings. I hope he takes my last tweet to heart and reads the studies...
Right on. Nimoy is a highly successful few decades smoker. I consider smokers that break 60 w/o serious health issues successful.
Many vegans don't break 80.
If warning label said you will develop COPD at 80 we would have lots more smokers.
Fact: He is 80 years old and what a life he has had!
Fact: He lived in LA, the smog capitol of the US, and he is 80 years old
Fact: Most celebrities that smoked in their younger life did so in the LA area, smog capitol of the US
I wonder why no one is thinking that the smog may have played a big part of his COPD?

And still appearing in every incarnation of Star Trek since like 1903.
My mother smoked for like 60 years. Died at 88 with COPD. Of course the dementia made quitting easy at 86 because she forgot she ever smoked.
I missed it. Don't know how, but I did.
I do read all the posts in a thread. I guess my comprehension level was below par LOL Sorry 'bout that! 
maybe the smoking kept him alive for 80 yrs in LA counter-reacted the smog that does everyone else in by the age of 78....no tellin....
